    Redbeard Bikes carries the full size range of Liv women's carbon and aluminum road bikes, as well as city and casual bikes. Ladies -- that's XXS to L. You know how rare this is. Come test ride one of these dream machines today!

    Liv is the only brand that makes a full range of bicycles and gear for women. Designed by women, for women.

    That said, no bike ever fit anyone straight out of the box. At Redbeard, fit is our first priority. We will set you up on the bike so that you are comfortable, yet efficient and powerful. Your bike fit changes over time, so we encourage you to visit us for adjustments! 

    Special thanks to photographer Sam Polcer of New York Bike Style fame, for this shot.

    "The Immovable Torso"

    I've had countless conversations about bike fitting, before, during and after bike fits. Sometimes instead of. This video so clearly demonstrates what a perfect match man and machine can make.

    Watch Ole Ritter's legs going around, and imagine an engine perfectly fastened to its chassis. His glide is so effortless and so perfectly justified, every movement and breath, so perfectly orchestrated to rend speed from the road.

    Watch.
